Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil. While you can cook with it immediately, many home cooks prefer to add a light layer of oil and bake it once more to further build the non-stick surface.
Absolutely. Because cast iron is a magnetic metal, it is highly compatible with induction cooktops and provides the even, consistent heat distribution required for effective searing.
No, the silicone handle holder is designed for stovetop use only. You should remove it before placing the skillet in the oven, as it is only heat-resistant up to 500°F and can be damaged by direct exposure to high oven temperatures.
Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents or the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat and apply a very thin layer of oil to prevent rust.
Prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods can strip the seasoning and potentially impart a metallic taste to your meal. It is best to reserve this pan for searing, roasting, and frying rather than long-simmering acidic sauces.
